Using a Jensen remote, can't access input mode

First, check which input you have the TV set on. There may be an Input button on the side of the TV. (On the SLEDVD197, the button just below the DVD Eject button.) Just press Input and use the Channel Up/Down arrows to navigate the menu to change to the DVD. Press Input again to Enter the selected option.

With the TV in DVD mode, try pressing Play again. If you still have the error, check the region code for the disc. The "Operation not permitted" messages is usually that something on the disc is locked. Frequently, it's the result of using a different region code disc than the DVD player knows how to interpret. Try a different DVD.

If your TV doesn't have the Input button on the TV, you absolutely need a universal remote. However, you will want one that can match the TV/DVD button, the Input/Select button and the Menu button. Usually this requires a higher end remote; you also need a remote that was programmed at least 6 months after Sansui released the TV. If you do have the Input button on the TV, a universal remote may make using the TV easier.

I hope this helps.

use a av cable ( rca cable ) and then select the av input

You can buy a universal remote controlled that you can use not only for sansui tv but to other brand of tv as well. The code is in the manual of the universal remote controlled just read it. That's the economical way buy a universal remote controlled, I hope I help you friend.

and program your the sansui manually.

I have a Jensen Universal Jer 323 remote. My TV brand is Sharp how do i program it and what code number do i use and also instruction for it.

is there buttons on the tv where you can switch inputs? if so try using those and get to the correct input. that would tell you if it is the remote or the tv.

going to have to get a universal remote with input button on it, or tv/vcr button, had same problem!!

I'm sorry, but you need the original remote or a universal that will activate the input on the tv.

you might not be able to use a universal remote to access specific functions on the TV.  The universal remote was designed for basic use, and has slightly evolved, but still lacks in some areas.  I suggest finding a Sansui remote, specifically for that TV model.
